This sucks! or Now I am a Pirate!

 I have been having major foot pain.  MAJOR - it hurts to walk, to stand, to do anything.  The problem has been, that I've kept doing everything!  I'm pretty stubborn, as you will soon learn.  

I have purchased everything I could find on amazon for Planter Factious.  I have bought reflexology mat, stretching socks, KT tape, multiple insoles.  They have helped reduce the pain, but they have not fixed it.

I finally went to a pediatrist.  He sent me to massage therapy, the soft tissue (muscles? tendons? ligaments?) in my foot was so tight, he could do nothing with it until they were loosened.  So, after a few sessions of massage, my right foot was feeling better, my left was worse.  New he suspected a stress fracture.  

Made an appointment with my family doctor.  X-rays showed Acute Planter Facetious  and calcification of my Achilles Tendon.  He said another word, but I can't remember.  I argued a little, said this wasn't the problem, it was bone not soft tissue - he disagreed.  I have to stay off my foot completely for 6 weeks.  6 - 8 weeks - How do I do that?   

I'm so mad - this sucks!  I am busy, I do not know how to rest.  In retrospect that may be where the problem originated!

So, I have crutches that I was told to use.  The boot was not reccomened, because it would tempt me to walk.  I rented a knee scooter... and I found the iWalk 2.0.... Have you heard of this? 

So.... with this peg leg, pirate leg.. I am supposed to be able to mow the lawn and look after children!  Seems pretty incredible!

Well it is!!!!  I can walk, without sore arms.  I can carry my coffee and walk, all while not using my foot!  

So, here goes to 6 weeks of being a Pirate!  This is finally going to fix my feet problem.  I'll let you know how it goes...
